Midcentury Scandinavian Wool Rug with Honeycomb Design in Blue-Grey and Brown

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
This enchanting vintage Swedish rug comes from the middle of the 20th century. During this time Scandinavian design experienced its heyday and this lovely flat-weave embodies the greatest features of this exceptional style which include simplicity, pastel color palette and utter functionality. Its double-sided field carries an orderly allover pattern of hexagons containing various geometric figures within, such as diamonds, squares, triangles and even other hexagons. The opposite shorter sides of the vintage carpet bag are nicely finished with a striped hem. This wide array of polygons is executed in a subdued color palette of ivory and teal against the background in a natural hemp shade. The rug was masterfully hand-crafted of the finest wool according to traditional weaving techniques by a skilled artisan due to which it has survived until this day in absolutely perfect condition. It is reversible, which means that it can be used on both sides which further prolongs its durability. This pleasant-to-the-eye Swedish antique rug will easily fit into present day interiors as it is characterized by timeless elegance and heartwarming appeal. It is a perfect option not only for the admirers of Scandinavian aesthetics but for all who cherish the power of minimalism.
